A mother should give the child the name that will be of the most benefit to the future of the child. Sometimes it is best for the child to have their mothers last name even if the couple is together. I knew an unwed mother who gave her son her grandfather's last name because she saw it as a way to continue the last name of the last good man she knew in a child who could use a chance at a new life. All options should be in the table.

What else can I help you with?

Can paternal grandparents legally keep the unwed mother of the child away from the child through a power of attorney of the child's unwed father?

Of course not. In the United States an unwed mother has sole custody of her child until the father has established his paternity legally, in court. Then he must petition for custody and/or visitation rights. He cannot make any changes in the custody of the child via a power of attorney.
